Laelia - why not Layla?Moira- another favorite! Versatile and Irish.Moriah- I get the Mount Moriah reference, and it sounds pretty besidesFinula - "fin" seems masculine to meMaurya - um...how is this different from Moira? It's more ghetto?Ophelia - eh. Not a fan.Lark - slowly coming around to this name. I could see it work.Anaelle - way too smooshed.Laia- I like this one for no reason other than it's phonetically prettyAloisa - prefer Eloisa and Ellie to AllieAviva - Vive la France! or Viva l'Italia? Take your pick, I'd stay away from naming my daughter a rallying cry.Alina - pretty, though I'm still not a fan of Al/AllieHadley - I've "had" enough of this nameHadassah - like Manasseh? Wasn't he evil?Raisa - see RaizaIndia - I like this one, but not enough to bold it. The country is too stigmatized for me.Malena - I think of malpracticeMelaina - prefer Melanie. Delaina - why not Delaney? (I prefer "ee" to "a" I guess)Irie - eerieHenriette - where's the last a?Henrietta- ah, there it is! A full and complete feminization that is cute and underusedStella - I think of a trendy, snooty, shopper typeCelia - I like this (though celiac is a drawback)Aya - might as well name her aaa. (in other words, no substance)Pearl - I like this one - it's underused.Ayelet - eye-lette? As in little eye?Adalina - Why not Adeline? Still, it's pretty all the sameElka - mooseThessaly- I've really come to love this name - it's soft and uniqueLavinia - Isn't "lav" a slang for bathroom?Zenaida - see ZadaCassia - I like this one, especially with the nn Cassie.Zara - I like this one too, if you really want to use a z name, this seems most wearable.Zaria - prefer ZaraOlea - sounds like it's missing some consanantsSaskia - sounds Russian, in which case, is it masculine?Alaia - Alaya might make it look better, but pretty all the sameManet - man-ay? Why not moan-ay? (not a big fan of these)Brisa - It doesn't sound bad, but I still don't like "b"Britta - for some reason, I like this better than Brisa; too bad it's a water purification companyHea - looks like someone chopped off the latter part of HeatherSaoirse - not my favorite Irish name, but it's Irish, so I'll give it that.Caoimhe - Really starting to like this out, but like Aoife, pronunciation outside Ireland will be a nightmareGenevieve - not a big fan of "jen"Georgiana- as long as it's pronounced jor-jee-ah-na, I love it!Poe - do you want her to be depressed and a maniac?Lillia - pretty, but I prefer LilibethAveline - prefer Adalina.Arletta - "ar" still makes me think of ArwinClementine - so long as it's clem-en-teen. Clem-en-tyne is an orange.Roisin- My absolute favorite name of all time! It's feminine without being overly princess-y, it's uncommon (in the states), it's rose-related and it's Irish to boot!Ailsa - so you're going to name your daughter "ail"sa instead? As in ailment?Coral - prefer Cora (not the biggest word name fan)Paloma - ommmmmmmJessa - not bad. I would prefer Jessica phonetically if it wasn't so popularDelphine - okay...but something about "dell" just throws me off. Like, "the farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell, hi-ho the merry-o the farmer in the dell."Bidelia - as in AmeliaBedelia?Beatrice- I like this one, for no reason other than it's a vintage nameIndra - sounds like you are trying desperately to get a name out of IndianaJones.Lilias - still prefer LilibethAlouette - Alouette, gentille alouette, Alouette, je te plumerai! (lark, nice lark, lark, I will pluck you - a French-Canadian song to get kids to learn their body parts)Isadora- ah, here it is!Meissa - did you forget the "l"?Ilaria - sounds made upGreta - I've been liking this lately, but mostly as a nn to Margaret.
Atley - I know this is a company somewhereCarysMarcheline - not a fan of either, and the combo sounds squishy
Coralei - prefer Coralie, since everyone else will mispronounce it as Coralie anywayEloraKate - not bad as a combo
Irey - eye-ray? That sounds like a cool gadget.IvyJuliet - both very pretty, but I think JulietIvy flows betterJora - definitely missing something. Jordana?Gloria - in excelsis Deo, Gloooooooooooooooooria!Promise - promise me you won't do this, okay?Madigan - now she's mad, and a masculine "igan"Flannery - sounds like a combination between flattery and flannel
